Egg prices are soaring in the United States: The New York Times recently reported that the price of eggs is 37% higher than a year ago, the result of a widespread egg shortage caused by avian flu. You’ve likely noticed this at your grocery store; for the past two weeks, my local supermarket has been sold out of eggs, and last week, our associate visuals director Amanda spotted a dozen eggs retailing for $12 at her neighborhood bodega.
If you’re craving something sweet but can’t find eggs or simply don’t feel like breaking the bank, not to worry—there are plenty of delicious egg-free desserts you can whip up. Below, you’ll find our favorite eggless confections, including a cozy apple crisp, an easy one-bowl shortbread, and a five-ingredient British banoffee pie.
